30 Days of Creativity – Day 19: Inspiration Board

July 5th, 2011

Day 19: Do you keep a creative journal or have an inspiration board? Share!

Vision boards, inspiration boards or journals – I dig them. I had a journal after college until I was married. Shortly afterwards, the journaling stopped… until Spring 2010. (And it’s time to make a new one.)

Here are highlights from my old-school-cut-and-paste poster that came to life last year.

Started writing a semi-regular food column for an online newspaper (switch careers?).
Became an editor at Craft Critique (there’s a little cut-out word “editor”).
Rode 25 miles in my first organized cycling/bike ride (see the woman on the bike?).

Here’s a neat post explaining how to make a virtual inspiration board with Picasa. And I enjoyed this article explaining the “why” behind vision boards. I wonder how many people actually do these? Are there people who share them with the world, or is it too personal?

Creative birthdays

July 2nd, 2009

We love going to these places where you can paint your own ceramics. A creative way to spend some time, not too expensive, and you get your creation in a week, or so! It’s fun anytime, but imagine a birthday party with about 20 young ladies ranging from the ages of 5 to 8. They had a blast. From other birthdays and outings, Abby has a nice little collection of ceramic from this location. If you’re looking for a place near your home, try here, too. It’s a link to the nationwide Creative Ceramics Studio Association.
